The Olympics have been making headlines for all the wrong reasons lately including forcing athletes to sleep on cardboard beds. When Sha’Carri posted a glamor shot of herself on Instagram posing in the mirror with a show-stopping silver dress on. Rihanna couldn’t help but notice the plush bed in the background.
In the comment left by the Bad Gal, she attempted to lighten the mood about Sha’Carri’s disqualification from the Olympics with a joke about the bed. The joke was overall well received and now Rihanna can be added to the list of Sha’Carri’s many celebrity fans which already includes Gabrielle Union and Drake.

Fans have spoken out about how unfair this seems, especially after Sha’Carri’s interview on the “TODAY” show where she explained the usage happened as a result of dealing with the emotions of her biological mother passing.

“Put her on the first thing smoking back to the dispensary ! A violation leads to punishment. Nobody is bigger than the program. Rules & regulations are there to be followed not ignored. She failed us as a people far as I’m concerned !”
